I'm looking to find a Site where I can get diagrams and/or schematics for building small projects such as birdhouses,mailboxes,window boxes and such..any help in finding this would be appreciated:)

I have found many sites on the net that offer to sell plans but few that offer good plans free for the downloading.
I go to my public library and check out their books. Also here in Texas we have what they call an interlibrary loan service, where if I have heard of a book that I want to see but my local does not have it, I can get them to check all the librarys in the state and if one has it, it will be sent to my library so that I can check it out.
As a last resort, check with any school wood shop teachers you can find. Those guys seem to love to build collections of plans for all kinds of things and they may be willing to let you have a copy of something they have that you would like to build.

The local Library!!
That was too easy lol
I drop my kids off there a couple times a week and never thought that maybe I should actually go in and do some research myself!
Thats what happens when you spend too much time researching on line..Thanks for the reality check..I'll check it out,as soon as I unglue my lazy butt from this chair:) Thanks again
